8 Responses to Dear Disqus, Here’s a Simple Way to Slow Down Spam

We’re always listening. And we always appreciate feedback (especially of the actionable variety, like this). Thanks a bunch for your thoughts Matt, we’ll keep them in mind as we continue to improve our spam solution.

One great reason not to use Disqus. I used it on my site, got hit by crappy spam like this. Reverted back to original WP comments form and installed Akismet. One click to remove spam and AKismet is correct 99.7% of the times !

Jasjot, are you seeing spam on this page? I see a total of 6 six comments (7 once I post this) on this page and all are legitimate comments.

Either way, sorry to hear you had spam issues when using Disqus. I’m not sure how long ago you used Disqus but rest assured we’ve made a number of improvements to our spam filtering solution over the years. And we will continue to do so. You can also enable Akismet within Disqus as well, to get protection from both our network-wide filter and Akismet.

If you have any other questions or feedback with which we can help don’t hesitate to contact our support team at http://disqus.com/support. We’re always happy to help.
